Mission Statement

EarthTeam's mission is to create a new generation of environmental stewards and leaders by introducing into the classroom and the community environmental experiences that inspire dedication to a healthy environment.

Description

EarthTeam serves a diverse community: ethnically, culturally and socio-economically, while targeting the most vulnerable population segment, "disenfranchised" teenagers. ET offers a wide spectrum of programs that help youth participants channel their creative energies and develop talents such as journalism, multi-media and leadership skills.

EarthTeam provides middle and high school students and teachers in the San Francisco East Bay area with environmental science activities in the classroom and in the field. Students learn about environmental restoration, asthma and air quality, global warming, waste reduction, and environmental multimedia skills. EarthTeam’s highly qualified educators conduct a variety of in-class and after school programs that provide leadership opportunities for teens. The organization provides opportunities for teachers to showcase their students' work in the web-based Green Newsletter and on Green Screen TV, which airs on 11 Bay Area stations. EarthTeam was founded in 2000, and its primary outreach is to the East Bay’s low-income communities.
